Angel Karen earns her wings

Family angel Karen Lynne
will be earning her wings when she tackles a 4,167 metre trek up North Africa’s
highest peak for charity.

Karen, who is the Family
Angel coach helping restore harmony to troubled families, is hoping to raise lots of money for our Happy House family.

It will be Karen’s first
climb and it be a tough, but important, challenge.

The summit of Toubkal

“When I stand on the top of Toubkal I will
know that I can also climb the symbolic mountain which is my message to the
world about the importance of family.”

Karen, 53, of Chilton, Buckinghamshire, heard
about the Happy House through a friend.

“I love that the Happy House is a home for
life and no matter how many children there are they get a real sense of
belonging to a family. I am a coach, I work with families to restore peace and
harmony in the home.

“I love the Happy House because Sue and her
husband Dave provide all these things for their children.

Karen who will be taking part in the guided trek next month
with a group from Wish Women and,fittingly, they will reach the summit on March
8 – International Women’s Day.

Karen, a former maths teacher and riding school owner, is
currently in training walking long distances to build her stamina and fitness.

“The climb is done over five days. The first couple of days
are relatively easy and will help us climatise to the altitude. Day five is
summit day and the real test. It will take approximately five to six hours to
reach the summit but we will be walking for approximately 12-13 hours in total.
